About

Students can be admitted to the Geosensing Systems Engineering and Sciences Ph.D. program from University of Houston as either a direct B.S. to PhD student or as a post M.S. student.  

Overview

A Ph.D. degree for a student whose highest prior degree is a B.S. requires 84 credit hours of approved study beyond the B.S. degree. 

Features

  • These requirements translate to a minimum of 39 credit hours of organized course work (thirteen 3-credit non-research courses) beyond the Bachelor's Degree plus 45 hours of Ph.D. research, dissertation and unrestricted electives. 
  • A maximum of 100 credit hours as a Geosensing Systems Engineering and Sciences Ph.D. student at University of Houston also applies. After 100 hours, the student is no longer eligible for the lower, Texas-Resident Tuition.

Programme Structure

Curriculum

  • After completing the research and writing the dissertation, the candidate defends the dissertation in a public meeting of the committee, interested faculty, staff, and students. The result is pass or fail with a pass usually being accompanied by recommended changes to the final draft.
  • Full-time students receiving financial support must register for 12 credit hours each Fall and Spring semester until they pass the Ph.D. qualifying exam, then students register for 9 credit hours each Fall and Spring and 6 hours each summer semester.
  • All graduate students must maintain a "B" average (GPA 3.0). Any graduate student who earns three "C" grades in graduate courses will be dropped from the Program. Doctoral students who fail to complete their dissertation within five years after completion of the comprehensive examination must retake the exam.
